Google Scholar - Selecting the HS/HSL as a Preference

What is Google Scholar?

Scholar is Google's effort to index scholarly literature. You can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations. Because many of the full-text resources in Google Scholar are only available to subscribing institutions, Google has provided a solution that makes it easier for you to access the electronic and print resources at the Health Sciences and Human Services Library (HS/HSL), University of Maryland.

The HS/HSL as a Preference

By selecting the HS/HSL as a preference, items owned by the library will have the Find It @ HS/HSL link as part of the citation. This link will lead to full-text, when available. Keep in mind that much of the scholarly input from pre-1998 is not necessarily available electronically. The good news is that the Find It @ HS/HSL link also takes you to print holdings information and/or a request form for document delivery.

1. Go to Google Scholar
2. Chose the Scholar Preferences link to the right of the Search button
3. Type "Maryland" into the Library Links box and click on “Find Library”
4. Click on the box: Health Sciences and Human Services Library, Univ of Maryland (Find It @ HS/HSL)
5. Click on the Save Preferences button at the bottom of the screen

Offsite Access

Access to HS/HSL e-resources from offsite still requires a Library Barcode.
